Q. Are infants also to be baptized?
A. Yes: for since they, as well as the adult, are included in the covenant and church of God;^a and since redemption from sin^b by the blood of Christ, and the Holy Ghost, the author of faith, is promised to them no less than to the adult;^c they must therefore by baptism, as a sign of the covenant, be also admitted into the christian church; and be distinguished from the children of unbelievers^d as was done in the old covenant or testament by circumcision,^e instead of which baptism is instituted^f in the new covenant.
